Jenelle Evans' new year hasn't been the happiest so far.

A kidney infection landed the Teen Mom 2 star in the hospital last night, another in what has been a series of unfortunate developments for the single mom—some legal, some health-related.

Her manager confirmed to E! News that a doctor prescribed antibiotics to treat the ailment and sent Evans home. She's feeling much better today, the rep added.

"Hospitals suck," Evans tweeted late Tuesday.

Evans was in and out of the doctor's office earlier this month while she battled strep throat, and in October she injured her wrist in a car accident. She was also diagnosed with an ovarian cyst last July.

Additionally, the volatile MTV star has been in and out of custody, most recently getting arrested on Jan. 10 for allegedly threatening an old roommate and again six days later for allegedly violating an order of protection against her.

Evans is due in court on Feb. 6.

Following last night's episode of Teen Mom 2, which featured Evans having a bit of a meltdown, she received a tweet accusing her of being "seriously psychotic." Evans wrote, "Sooooo I'm guessing u r all watching the fight :/ damn," and, to the one who called her psychotic, she tweeted, "bi polar disorder sweetheart."

"Im already emotional right now, and crying for @PBandJenelley_1 right now. :( How hard," wrote 16 and Pregnant's Ashley Salazar.

"@ashleyslzr awhhh, it's alright. I made it through. :) I'm on my medication now and my life has change tremendously," Evans wrote back.

Fellow Teen Mom star Amber Portwood also suffers from bipolar disorder.
